Refrain: Praise His holy name, I am sav’d from fear, He never will forsake; He never will forsake; I am walking now with my Lord so dear, He never will forsake His own. 2 When our foes are strong and our friends deceive, He never will forsake; He never will forsake; While we trust His word needed grace He’ll give, He never will forsake His own. [Refrain] 3 When the tempter comes like a singing tide, He never will forsake; He never will forsake; We a shelter have in His wounded side, He never will forsake His own. [Refrain] 4 When in sorrow great human friends must part, He never will forsake; He never will forsake; He will nearer come to the trusting heart, He never will forsake His own. [Refrain] 5 When we bid farewell to the earth below, He never will forsake; He never will forsake; Thro’ the stream of death by our side He’ll go, He never will forsake His own.
